Millions of hedgehogs die as they cross the roads, but a discovery is paving the way for a warning that might stop them crossing at dangerous times.

Researchers have discovered that hedgehogs can hear ultrasound, a surprising ability that could help protect them from cars. Since road traffic kills large numbers of hedgehogs, scientists believe ...

Meet the European hedgehog ( Erinaceus europaeus ), small nocturnal insectivores that turn into a spiny ball of death when they feel threatened. Unfortunately, the mammals are rapidly declining.

Study shows animals hear very high frequencies, making it possible to design a deterrent to cut deaths ...

The proposal is based on their findings which show for the first time that hedgehogs can hear high-frequency ultrasound.

Researchers at the University of Oxford have suggested that ultrasound-repellers could help reduce hedgehog deaths caused by cars. The proposal is based on new findings, published in Biology Letters, ...

Research conducted by a team of scientists from Kaunas University, Lithuania, revealed that low-frequency ultrasound influences blood parameters. The findings suggest that ultrasound's effect on ...

Blood platelet aggregation with epinephrine (a) and low-frequency ultrasound (b) in vitro. In (b), two samples are sonicated with ultrasound at 60 W electric power (pink, red) and two samples are ...
